I would like to redirect domain A that is not secure (http) to domain B that is secure (https) that has a let’s encrypt ssl cert already installed. I believe the answer to my question is to utilize the rewrite rules. But, the documentation is a little difficult to understand -for me. Any help, with examples would be awesome.

Hi @michel92df116ca8bc0546fb67
You can use the following method to redirect by changing your VirtualHost:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName domainA.com
Alias www.domainA.com
Redirect / https://www.domainB.com/
</VirtualHost>
And the restart Apache with sudo apachectl restart
If everything works, then change it to Redirect permanent / https://www.domainB.com/
